I am a retired mixed media artist, born and raised in southern Saskatchewan. My work is heavily influenced by nature and landscape, with a particular fondness of the prairies. I use the inspiration of the prairies to create realistic and abstract art. Being deeply connected to nature, an alternate reality is created using wild colors and patterns. I will explore multiple mediums to try every possible process for creating a surface.

Techniques include painting, drawing, applique, felting and layering with threads and wool. As a multi media artist, material choices and processes vary with each new body of work. Over the span of my career, I have studied various areas of art and textile art forms. I have taught numerous classes and sold work across Canada and the U.S.I am constantly continuing my education.

I am a professional artist working in mixed media with a specialty in textile arts.
